The historic property, located in Manhattan, was purchased by Mack and his wife Christy for $13.5 million in 2009 before undergoing an extensive six-year renovation that transformed the residence into a contemporary luxury home.
The 20-room townhouse features an array of high-end amenities befitting its premium price tag, including a wine cellar and a soundproof private theater. The comprehensive restoration work has positioned the property at the upper echelon of Manhattan's real estate market.
Should the property sell at its listed price of $80 million, it would surpass the previous record for Manhattan townhouse sales, which stood at $77 million. The sale would represent a substantial appreciation from the original $13.5 million purchase price, reflecting the value added through the extensive renovation and the continued demand for luxury properties in Manhattan's elite neighborhoods.
The listing underscores the continued strength of demand among ultra-high-net-worth buyers for distinctive Manhattan properties with significant historical character and modern luxury appointments.
